Hi,
I found some [two] photos Mk IV Male. I think it's replica.

I think it's Peter Jackson's replica.

Yep. Definitely Peter (Bad Taste, Lord of The Rings) Jackson's replica.

And you can see that although it is a very good looking toy, he has copied Bovington's incorrect rear end (just like Emhar did, and the restorer of the Ashford Tank).

Talking of replicas, the one used in the film version of The Magic Flute can be seen after 4'40" here:

The purpose of the porthole becomes clear.

As has been pointed out before, it can be hired. Would make a nice birthday treat.
